Phillips was informed by the Reds that he has made the Opening Day roster, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Phillips got off to a rough start to begin spring training, as he allowed three earned runs in three of his first five appearances. After allowing three runs March 5, the righty has allowed one earned allowed across 3.1 innings over his past three appearances. The Reds are hoping the former starter can recapture the dominance he found as a reliever to conclude the 2025 season.
